Rufus Wainwright – Tulsa Lyrics	17 years ago
Even before this song came out, there were people who "shipped" Rufus with Brandon Flowers. You can find online communities dedicated to the fictional relationship. This might have inspired Rufus to write the song as well, but I don't know.

Rufus Wainwright – Little Sister Lyrics	17 years ago
I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere that Rufus said yes, literally it's about Mozart and his little sister. But of course on a grander scale, it's about sexual politics, like others have said. Women have to "use [their] hips as fodder" (i.e. use their physical appearance to their advantage) to get anywhere in the music business.

Rufus Wainwright – Grey Gardens Lyrics	17 years ago
Not only is "Grey Gardens" a wonderful documentary, but was made into a beautiful Broadway musical a few years ago. (After this song was written, though.) Also, just a fun fact to add... Edith "Little Edie" Beale was a first cousin of Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
